The first challenge was a great success! Sorry for the delay on this challenge...it crept up on me. I thought we would go back to a theme that Tony used for a contest years ago. Chess, that is. Build anything chess related. It can be a full set, one side, just the board, or just one piece. As long as it involves chess in some way, it counts.

Again, remember, there are no rules for these challenges. Give it a whirl and see what you come up with. Check mate!

I'm excited for this challenge, My family and I used to always make our own chess sets and battle it out.Edit: I've built my first entry. Here it is: Loosley based on the opening of Age of Empires IIPics=link to set.

I haven't posted anything in a while but for once I'm working on something that may coincide! Going by the lose rules I might be okay otherwise it was fun to post. I figured early Victorian has some legitimacy in castle .

Anyway I've been working on a Chess set somewhat based a on the film Zulu Dawn. I thought I'd throw some of my favorite pieces up for the chess challenge which would be the;

Hmmm...I don't know what I'll do anymore because I saw this on the Brothers-brick and it has the exact same thing that I was gonna do. I guess I'll pick something else... (It was a cool moc nonetheless )

That is a very cool MOC. Ironically, I also started working on a set in the scale as that, the night before it was posted. Don't let that stop you. I'm going on with mine.....as well as a few other things.

Hi, guys, I'm new at this forum, although I regularly visit the CC website.I also see that there are some really interesting threads here, so I will check those out too.

Anyhow, my friends suggested that I upload my recent chess-set here.It is just a coincidence that I built it now, as I didn't know about this challenge. Those little Belville crowns sparked the idea, then I remembered a chess set my Dad had and started building.I'm also in the process of building several other variations.I hope you guys like it. It was a fun built.
